If you are thinking “WTF is a carrier bead?” (trust me, you are not alone on this) – then you have to look at this! The idea is to make an even-count peyote strip, 6 beads across and 50 rows long, using Delica 11/0s, and then wrap it around the bead and stitch the strip closed into a loop. Make a bunch, string them together as a bracelet or necklace – et voila! Bob’s yer uncle.

It’s the hottest new thing since pre-sliced bread.

But that’s not all that is new this week! Also new – more of the Zoliduos – Left and Right. Zoliduos are a curvy, paisley-shape, that make for some truly interesting designs using their mirror-image curves. They are part of the two-hole family of shaped beads, which have opened up so many new design possibilities.
